Do "smart" fitness clothes work?

We've made huge strides in technology over the past decade: smart phones, smart TVs, smart cars, smart homes, and smart fitness clothes. The fact of the matter is that "smart" fitness clothes are a trend that's not widely mainstream yet, and because it's all so new (and expensive), you want to be sure a product lives up to the hype before buying. Here are a few of our favorite "smart" clothes and why we think you'll dig them.

Our favorites are the Nadi X Yoga Pants, because sometimes it's hard to get the personalized attention you need, especially if you're new to yoga. These yoga pants provide a way for students to get hands on adjustments and personalized attention throughout their practice in every pose.

The fact that even the slightest alteration in alignment can make or break the benefits and safety of your yoga flow makes these pants worth the money and the learning curve at the beginning. Once you've become accustomed to the signals the pants are sending and what they mean, you'll be flowing like a champion knowing your alignment is right on point.

In a day and age where overexposure to the sun and skin cancer is becoming more and more of a threat, these smart swimsuits are a great choice. With the Spinali Design Smart Suits, you type in your skin tone and how tan you want to get into the affiliated app and it tells you when to apply sunscreen or head for the shade accordingly. There's even a "valentine" feature that sends your partner an alert as to when it's time to slather you with sunscreen. Now, isn't that sweet?

The Ambiotex Smart Tanktop performs a regular stress test every morning and gives you a static snapshot of your mental state on a scale of 1 to 10. Increases and decreases in your stress levels are recorded over time so you can learn to handle daily demands and stress levels better than ever before.

Training just below the anaerobic threshold is excellent for the development of high endurance. No stress and endurance for days, that's you!
